Understanding pixel and Mega pixels this first step in buying a digital camera. There is a lot of confusing information about Mega pixels in digital camera buyers ads. There are different quality pixels depending on what price range a camera falls into. Quality of pixels is more important than quantity of pixels. If the pixel quality in the image sensor of the cameras are the same, the more pixels, the sharper the picture.

Camera manufacturers advertise the number of pixels using the term, Mega pixels. One million pixels = 1 Mega pixel, Two million pixels = 2 Mega pixels and so on.

Most stores carry cameras ranging from 1 – 11 Mega pixels.

You may not need a lot of Mega pixels to really enjoy your camera and get great looking pictures. Dependability, durability, and image quality. So if you are torn between a 6 or 8 Mega pixel Canon Digital Camera and a lesser brand 10 or 11 Mega pixel digital camera, I suggest you stay with the Canon. Images taken with higher Mega pixel digital cameras (4, 5 and 6 for example) contain more information. If you’re a casual user who wants to email some pictures to friends and family and print some 4×6 inch prints a 2 Mega pixel camera will be fine.

As you move up the Mega pixel chain you will get more than just more pixels. There’s more to a good digital camera than Mega pixels.
